TBF it’s usually not the doctor’s fault, it’s systemic.

Systemic as in “everyone else does this so we have to in order to compete”?

So, doctors should see fewer patients? Meaning it would take longer to get the appointment in the first place, but at least you wouldn’t have to sit in the waiting room for a bit?

They should schedule realistically and not make people wait over an hour as has happened to me several times. Are you really suggesting that doctors offices don’t fuck this up royally? It’s not on me to tell them how to fix their business but it’s abundantly obvious in America that doctors can do whatever they want to you and they don’t care if they waste (a lot of) your time. Nothing about that is inevitable, at least not nearly to the degree that it happens

How many people skip a visit to the doctor because of the waiting time?

Exactly. If it’s at a hospital, then the doctor has little to no say in the matter. I will always blame the bosses before the workers.

In America I have rarely gone to a hospital to see a doctor. Most of my doctor visits have been to practices with 3-5 doctors. They could choose differently. what I notice is that doctors are rich and all seem to live in very nice homes and drive fancy cars. They over schedule and waste our time because they want to maximize their profits. Not because they have to. Healthcare in America is about making money and it sucks.
